Natural Organic Fertilizer

Bedding Plants
AGGRAND 4-3-3 Natural Fertilizer can be applied through a standard greenhouse injection
system with every watering by using a very dilute solution. AGGRAND 4-3-3 dissolves easily into
water and is filtered through #100 mesh so it can be added to the nurse tank and injected into the
watering system without any added difficulty. It blends easily with other nutrients and pesticides
(conduct a jar test to make sure that the AGGRAND 4-3-3 is compatible with the other
components before blending them in the tank).
The standard dilution ratio for system injection is 200:1 (water to fertilizer). Apply to the leaves
and soil after the plants reach 2-3 true leaves. Decrease the ratio to 100:1 for more demanding
plant types as the growth rate increases. AGGRAND 4-3-3 may also be applied at every watering
by mixing 1/2 to 1 ounce of fertilizer with one gallon of water and sprinkling the solution over the
plants.
Foliar Applications:
AGGRAND 4-3-3 can be applied to the leaves of bedding plants to supply additional nutrients
even when using standard greenhouse fertilization. Mix 1-3 ounces of AGGRAND 4-3-3 with one
gallon of water and apply as a fine mist to the leaves. Apply enough solution to wet the leaves.
Apply in 14-21 day intervals after the plants reach 2-3 true leaves. Adjust dilution rate and
interval according to plant demands and growth rate.
Rates vary according to soil fertility and other inputs used. Lower dilution rates are more effective
than higher dilution rates. Two or three lighter applications can be more effective than one heavy
application. If other constraints only allow one application then do not exceed a 4% dilution rate (4
gals. of AGGRAND to 100 gals. of water).
The addition of a biodegradable surfactant increases uptake by increasing adhesion to the leaf
surface. Apply AGGRAND in early morning or late evening. Do not apply before or after rainfall or
irrigation. On standard field sprayers, use turbo flood jet nozzles when applying AGGRAND to
reduce clogging. To reduce susceptibility to attack of insect and disease causing organisms,
apply 1-2 qts. of AGGRAND 0-0-8 Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash when signs of infestation
begin to become apparent. AGGRAND added to the spray tank reduces the pesticide needed to
obtain effective control by 1/3 to 1/2. Some growers are finding that AGGRAND applications alone
eliminate the need for pesticide applications when they are applied at the same times as
pesticides.
Soil Applications:
AGGRAND 4-3-3 Natural Fertilizer should be applied at 10-14 day intervals (apply more
frequently when using soil-less mixes). Mix 3-4 ounces of AGGRAND 4-3-3 with one gallon of
water and apply enough to the soil to saturate the containers.
